A little bit woodsy

Have you seen the someecard that reads "I'm outdoorsy in that I like getting drunk on patios"? That is pretty much the extent of my outdoors survival skills. Even when I was in Girl Scouts, a bajillion years ago, the only camping we did was in cabins, with hot and cold showers and flushing toilets only yards away. I've slept overnight in a tent once in my life and it was in my best friend's backyard. Lucky for me, I know some excellent outdoors-men/women. So when the Mayan-predicted zombie / meteor / bioengineered / financial apocalypse hits on December 21st (that's eleven days away!), you know who I'll be spending my time with.

Here's to the hardy lumberjacks and jills,
Who find home base with their navigational skills.
Their camp fire tales usually end in laughter,
They know to dig the hole before, not after.

Cheers to the adventurous guys and gals,
Your hunting buddies, your fishing pals
Not afraid of spiders or West Nile mosquitoes,
And don't mind sleeping like human burritos.

And lastly, the reason why we hold you so dear
Is that we're counting on you to save our rear.

What are those people called again? Doomsdayers? I can't remember. I've got a few family members that are excellent outdoors men/women too. So, good, we're covered. Rooth, that poem is the best! Or is it a rap? ;) Here, I'll provide the beat box.

Woops haven't been getting prepared for the apocalypse! The amount of apocalypses predicted is getting hard to keep up with! I confess I'm not much of a camper either, it's a little overrated dare I say...I have camped and had fun though, but a cabin is easier! And more comfortable, I like a semi-camp :)

I love that sweatshirt! Boooo international shipping! I keep on missing these apocalypse dates and the days when the rapture is meant to be and so on. I have such a poor memory for important end of the world dates in my calendar - I should probably work on that.

that is adorable. i actually have a little vintage suitcase ready for a one day apocalypse. i just realized how dumb that is - seriously i should put that in a backpack. i have done some camping in my life time. i once "lived" in alaska for a few month at a campsite. let me tell you getting in a car never felt so good. it was like this brilliant luxury. truthfully that was a few month where i drank a lot of beer.

Love the poem. The most outdoorsy thing I've done is hiking/camping in Tahoe for 3 days. We hiked roughly 11 miles to our first campsite and then another 8 the next day to an even more remote (and higher up) campsite. I got hit really hard with elevation sickness on that second day and literally almost fell off a mountain. Haven't been camping since (but I'd do it again as long as it's a little less extreme...) :)

Pretty awesome poem! I worked with someone once who used to like to predict who we worked with or came across would survive in a post-apocalyptic world and if 5he wouldn't, what their downfall would be. I could do it but I really wouldn't want to. At all.

Love your poem!!!Ah, yes.. Feeling outdoorsy means being away from my internet life for a minute by either going out of home and returning in a minute.Haha Mayan Predicted zombies!!?I would stay up on a tree if that ever happens

Howdy
